Smriti Irani shared her 25-year-old ad on menstrual hygiene on her Instagram account. She wrote, "When your past 'whispers.' 25 years ago, my first ad ever for a big company. However, the subject was not a fancy one. In fact, such was the product that many were averse to the assignment since a sanitary pad advertisement ensured the death of a glamour-based career for the model involved. Eager to start my stint in front of the camera, I said yes! After all, why should a conversation on menstrual hygiene be taboo. Since then, there has been 'no looking back."
In the video, Smriti Irani is seen sitting on a chair talking about the menstrual cycle and addressing the taboo around it. "Periods are God's way of telling us that you are older and wiser," says Smriti Irani in the video.
